RTQ2103A-QA
Operation
The RTQ2103A is a low voltage synchronous step-down
converter that can support input voltage ranging from 3V
to 6V and the output current can be up to 2A. The
RTQ2103A uses ACOTTM mode control. To achieve good
stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, the ACOT uses
a virtual inductor current ramp generated inside the IC.
This internal ramp signal replaces the ESR ramp normally
provided by the output capacitor's ESR. The ramp signal
and other internal compensations are optimized for lowESR ceramic output capacitors.
In steady-state operation, the feedback voltage, with the
virtual inductor current ramp added, is compared to the
reference voltage. When the combined signal is less than
the reference, the on-time one-shot is triggered, as long
as the minimum off-time one-shot is clear and the
measured inductor current (through the synchronous
rectifier) is below the current limit. The on-time one-shot
turns on the high-side switch and the inductor current
ramps up linearly. After the on-time, the high-side switch
is turned off and the synchronous rectifier is turned on
and the inductor current ramps down linearly. At the same
time, the minimum off-time one-shot is triggered to prevent
another immediate on-time during the noisy switching
time and allow the feedback voltage and current sense
signals to settle. The minimum off-time is kept short so
that rapidly-repeated on-times can raise the inductor
current quickly when needed.
PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
Power Good
When the output voltage is higher than PGOOD rising
threshold, the PGOOD flag is high.
Output Under-Voltage Protection (UVP)
When the output voltage is lower than 66% reference
voltage after soft-start, the UVP is triggered.
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The RTQ2103A senses the current signal when the highside and low-side MOSFET turns on. As a result, The
OCP is a cycle-by-cycle current limit. If an over-current
condition occurs, the converter turns off the next on pulse
until inductor current drops below the OCP limit. If the
OCP is continually activated and the load current is larger
than the current provided by the converter, the output
voltage drops. Also, when the output voltage triggers the
UVP also, the current will drop to ZC and trigger the resoft start sequence.
Soft-Start
An internal current source charges an internal capacitor
to build the soft-start ramp voltage. The typical soft-start
time is 150μs.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The RTQ2103A has an over-temperature protection. When
the device triggers the OTP, the device shuts down until
the temperature is back to normal.
The on-time can be roughly estimated by the equation :
V
1
TON = OUT
where fOSC is nominal 2.7MHz
VIN
fOSC
Under-Voltage Protection (UVLO)
The UVLO continuously monitors the VCC voltage to make
sure the device works properly. When the VCC is high
enough to reach the UVLO high threshold voltage, the
step-down converter softly starts or pre-bias to its regulated
output voltage. When the VCC decreases to its low
threshold voltage, the device shuts down.

Application Information
The RTQ2103A is a single-phase step-down converter.
Advance Constant-on-Time (ACOT) with fast transient
response. An internal 0.45V reference allows the output
voltage to be precisely regulated for low output voltage
applications. A fixed switching frequency (2.7MHz)
oscillator and internal compensation are integrated to
minimize external component count. Protection features
include over current protection, under voltage protection
and over temperature protection.
Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage is set by an external resistive divider
according to the following equation :
R1
VOUT VREF x (1
)
R2
where VREF equals to 0.45V typical. The resistive divider
allows the FB pin to sense a fraction of the output voltage
as shown in Figure 1.

CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the
trapezoidal current at the source of the top MOSFET. To
prevent large ripple voltage, a low ESR input capacitor
sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. RMS
current is given by :
GND
Figure 1. Setting the Output Voltage
Low Supply Operation
The RTQ2103A is designed to operate down to an input
supply voltage of 3V. One important consideration at low
input supply voltages is that the RDS(ON) of the P-Channel
and N-Channel power switches increases. The user should
calculate the power dissipation when the RTQ2103A is
used at 100% duty cycle with low input voltages to ensure
that thermal limits are not exceeded.
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
Hiccup Mode
For the RTQ2103A, it provides Hiccup Mode Under Voltage
Protection (UVP). When the output voltage is lower than
66% reference voltage after soft-start, the UVP is triggered.
If the UVP condition remains for a period, the RTQ2103A

VOUT
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS =
IOUT / 2. This simple worst case condition is commonly
used for design because even significant deviations do
not result in much difference. Choose a capacitor rated at
a higher temperature than required.
Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size or
height requirements in the design.
The selection of COUT is determined by the effective series
resistance (ESR) that is required to minimize voltage ripple
and load step transients, as well as the amount of bulk
capacitance that is necessary to ensure that the control
loop is stable. Loop stability can be checked by viewing
the load transient response. The output ripple, ΔVOUT, is
determined by :

The high Q of ceramic capacitors with trace inductance
can also lead to significant ringing.
Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
Higher value, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However, care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at the input and
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input
and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden
inrush of current through the long wires can potentially
cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the
part.

Thermal Considerations
The junction temperature should never exceed the
absolute maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), listed
under Absolute Maximum Ratings, to avoid permanent
damage to the device. The maximum allowable power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, the PCB layout, the rate of surrounding airflow,
and the difference between the junction and ambient
temperatures. The maximum power dissipation can be
calculated using the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance.
For continuous operation, the maximum operating junction
temperature indicated under Recommended Operating
Conditions is 150°C. The junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, is highly package dependent. For a SOP8 (Exposed Pad) package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
29°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 high effective-thermalconductivity four-layer test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated as below :
PD(MAX) = (150°C − 25°C) / (29°C/W) = 4.31W for a
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for the fixed TJ(MAX) and the thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 2 allows
the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)
The output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage
since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple capacitors
placed in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and
RMS current handling requirements. Dry tantalum, special
polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are
all available in surface mount packages. Special polymer
capacitors offer very low ESR, but have lower capacitance
density than other types. Tantalum capacitors have the
highest capacitance density, but it is important to only
use types that have been surge tested for use in switching
power supplies. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have
significantly higher ESR, but can be used in cost-sensitive
applications provided that consideration is given to ripple
current ratings and long term reliability. Ceramic capacitors
have excellent low ESR characteristics, but can have a
high voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects.

Layout Considerations
Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper. Flooding
Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance
of the RTQ2103A.
with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power
components. Connect the copper areas to any DC net
(VIN, VOUT, GND, or any other DC rail in the system).
Connect the terminal of the input capacitor(s), CIN, as
close as possible to the VIN pin. This capacitor provides
the AC current into the internal power MOSFETs.
LX node experiences high frequency voltage swing and
should be kept within a small area. Keep all sensitive
small-signal nodes away from the LX node to prevent
stray capacitive noise pick up.
Connect the FB pin directly to the feedback resistors.
The resistive voltage divider must be connected between
VOUT and GND.
Input capacitor must be placed
as close to the IC as possible.
